There was a time where I had no idea how important liver detoxification was. But i've learned a whole lot since then.
I was on antibiotics all throughout high school because my dermatologist prescribed them for acne. Little did I realize they were actually making my liver much more inflamed, and unable to process toxins like it should be able to. I had no idea that so many pharmaceuticals actually cause inflammation in the liver. This can cause many skin conditions to become even worse! It's pretty ironic to think that some pharmaceuticals actually worsen the exact condition they are supposed to be improving!!!
In addition to the antibiotics making my skin worse, I was extremely depressed in high school, and I had no idea this could be related to the drugs I was constantly on. My gut microbiome was completely screwed up because of all those antibiotics. My skin just got worse and worse and worse. It wasn't until I was in my forties that I realized how important probiotics are for health, mood, and your SKIN!
Please check out THIS PAGE about the importance of probiotics for dogs. If you scroll down the page, you can see lots of videos were people talk about why it's important, and if you keep scrolling all the way to the bottom, you can see a list of the different types of probiotics and why they are beneficial for dogs in different ways.
In my forties, my husband at the time was experiencing serious liver problems. When it got bad, he went from having beautiful, clear, smooth skin, to having acne... in his late 40s! I suddenly realized the connection between liver health and clear skin.
When my dog Kali developed an aggressive tumor, i knew how important liver detoxification was. So I did some research and found these supplements that really do seem to help.
This one has a lot of different things that are good for detoxifying the liver.
The other supplement I would highly highly highly recommend for any dog with a skin condition or cancer is liquid Sam-e. Kali went from being super depressed and looking very sad, to smiling almost all day. I know that sounds hard to believe, but I am not kidding, you can even try it for yourself and see the difference in your dog.
I wrote a page about it that you can see HERE. You can also see what other people have to say about that, supplement after they used it with their dogs. The positive reviews are what made me decide to try it out, and i'm so glad I did!
Hope thishelps.
